* Simplify flash_ui handling (by handling the unhighlight pre-callback, c.f., #7262 for more details).
* UIManager: Handle translucent window-level widgets (and those wrapped in a translucent MovableContainer) properly in setDirty directly, making sure what's *underneath* them gets repainted to avoid alpha layering glitches. (This was previously handled via localized hacks).
* Update UIManager's documentation, and format it properly for ldoc parsing, making the HTML docs more useful.
* ReaderView: Reinitialize the various page areas when opening a new document, to prevent poisoning from the previous document.
* Event: Handle nils in an event's arguments.
* CheckButton/RadioButton: Switch to simple inversion to handle highlighting
* CheckButton: Make the highlight span the inner frame's width, instead of just the text's width, if possible.
* AlphaContainer: Fix & simplify, given the UIManager alpha handling.
* MovableContainer: When translucent, cache the canvas bb used for composition.
* Avoid spurious refreshes in a few widgets using various dummy *TextWidgets in order to first compute a text height.
* KeyValuePage: Avoid floats in size computations.
Add UIManager:discardEvents(), to allow dropping events
for a period of time.
Default duration of 600ms on eInk, 300ms otherwise.
Used when showing the dict result window, so that a tap
happening just when it's being shown won't discard it.
Used with Trapper:confirm()/:info(), to avoid taps made
in a previous processing to dismiss (and so, select the
cancel action) a ConfirmBox not yet painted/visible.
This commit standardizes the various todos around the code a bit in a manner recognized by LDoc.
Besides drawing more attention by being displayed in the developer docs, they're also extractable with LDoc on the command line:
```sh
ldoc --tags todo,fixme *.lua
```
However, whether that particular usage offers any advantage over other search tools is questionable at best.
* and some random beautification
New TrapWidget: invisible full screen widget for catching UI events. Can
optionally display a text message at bottom left of screen (ie: "Loading..."),
used by default by Trapper:dismissable functions when no widget provided.
Added Trapper:dismissableRunInSubprocess() to run a lua function in
a sub-process, allowing it to be dismissed, and returns its return
value(s).
- Fix links to wikipedia pages containing '?oldid=123', that
wouldn't work when used back thru the API.
- Make external links to other wikipedias with a different langage
work (they didn't work when non-ascii page titles)
- Speedup download of images by using a newly added 'fast_refresh'
option to Trapper:info() to bypass UIManager.
This module provides methods for simple interaction with UI, without
the need for explicit callbacks, for use by linear jobs between
their steps.
Uses coroutines, but their usage is hidden by a simple API.
Factored out of Wikipedia:createEpubWithUI().
